This chicken was as tender and flavorful a chicken as I’ve ever had. I absolutely loved it. If you don’t have a Romertopf clay cooker, get one. I’ve posted several recipes on this site using it. It’s great for a night when you want some slow comfort food that’s also a breeze to put together.
Ingredients
Tarragon Chicken
Directions
Soak the clay pot in water in the sink for at least 20 minutes. You are putting the pot in a COLD oven. After you slide the cooker into the oven turn it to 450 degrees and check it after an hour and a half. I let it go another 10 minutes after that and my chicken was tender and juicy and falling off the bone!
Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, then with the dried tarragon flakes.
Lay the sliced white onion over the chicken.
Pour in the vinegar and the chicken stock. Cover the clay cooker.
Slide the clay cooker into the cold oven. Turn it to 450 degrees and cook for an hour and a half or a little longer.


Strain the juices from the chicken. De-fat the juices in one of those measuring cups with a spout and a little rubber stopper. Reduce the juices in a pot and add cream. Cook down until thick. Check your seasonings.
Pour the sauce over and/or under the chicken
